Janet Jakobsen, director of the Barnard Center for Research on Women, on next generation of NOW

As the National Organization for Women holds its national convention this week, Prof. Janet Jakobsen weighs in on a younger generation's approach to feminist movements. An excerpt from the article.

""I think younger feminists are less likely to join organizations than older feminists, maybe, in part because (of) the allegiances to different movements they have," she said. No surprise that the younger generation of feminists engage one another online, through cultural and political critiques on websites such as feministing.com, said Janet Jakobsen, director of Barnard Center for Research on Women at Barnard College in New York."
